Sullexis has recently lauched a service that increases a buying organization’s ability to create, precise and accurate, line items for an eCatalog (pricesheet) thus improving both the efficiency and effectiveness that an eCatalog can deliver to a Procure-to-Pay (P2P) initiative.

PIDX, the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange committe, is the global standards body dedicated to delivering the process, information and technology standards that facilitate seamless eBusiness within the Oil and Gas industry.

The conference is to be hosted by Schlumberger at its 10001 Richmond Avenue location.

Typically, organizations rolling out a P2P solution have limited insight into their purchasing history and rely on their vendors to provide the data necessary to identify eCatalog line items. Unfortunately, this data tends to lack the details and/or the granularity necessary to create the optimal line items for an eCatalog.

This new Sullexis service uses the latest predictive analytics and data mining technology to identify potential items from any available transaction data, even ‘free text’. The solution, having identified an item, then looks at the purchasing history to make a recommendation on whether an item should be on a price book or not. This approach ensures that the appropriate items are considered for the eCatalog, accelerating eCatalog creation and minimizing unnecessary maintenance of irrelevant items.

Working in the Financial Services industry is a first for Sullexis. The client approached us based on the recommendation of an ex-Sullexis consultant that had been engaged on their team, and were then impressed with the depth of knowledge and practical experience that Sullexis offered in the Procure-to-Pay space.

Sullexis consultants will be leading process design, change management, training and supplier enablement functions as the client’s new solution is rolled out globally. We are delighted to be involved in this initiative and look forward to addressing the fresh challenges that this industry vertical will present.

Being held at the The Houstonian on 21^st September, the retreat is an invitation only event for the upstream oil and gas eProcurement community.

The panel discussion will follow presentations from a number of industry analysts, and strategy updates from a number of oil and gas heavyweights from both the operator and service provider community.

This year the panel will be facilitated by Sullexis’ Mike Gilbert, past Chair of the PIDX Classification Committee, who has recently being working on the development of an industry standard enhanced eCatalog XML format.

During the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon accident, Sullexis was drafted into the BP response to provide IT and data management services. Derek was responsible for helping to establish an IT infrastructure and an IT operational capability across the Gulf Coast – and impressed! In his new role he will be responsible for GoM IT&S strategy and the implementation of the IT programme that underpins business activities.

We’d like to thank Derek for all his hard work while at Sullexis and to wish him good luck in his new venture. He will remain in Houston and be based at BP’s Westlake campus.

Research vessels are cruising the Gulf of Mexico on a daily basis taking samples from the water column to determine temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and fluorescence at various depths. These measures indicate the presence of hydrocarbons, their size and concentration and knowing this information in a timely manner helps direct dispersant activity.

The data from each research vessel’s cruise was taking 4-5 days to process and interpret; prompt and actionable information was being delayed by numerous factors:

• Disparate sampling equipment and data formats being used across the research vessel fleet
• Differences in data transformation and data enrichment requirements between vessels
• Varying levels of experience and skill with onboard crew
• Rapid turnover of vessel crew
• Limited number of experienced personnel to create and interpret the data

Within a matter of days of its engagement on this project, Sullexis had developed and deployed a “Shipboard Data Protocol” solution that NOAA adopted for use by all research vessels.The Sullexis designed solution provided for:

• The development of a training program to ensure ship crews would be trained quickly and consistently
• The development of a data standard to be developed to ensure data was delivered in a standard format
• The development of a application to integrate all captured data and automate the required transformation and processing

By working with Sullexis to deploy the solution, data interpretation was reduced from 4-5 days to a matter of hours.
